h1. Software deployment This pages presents the requirements of the set of tools that helps to easily configure, launch and run the robots on-board softwares. h2. General requirements * The tools must be very easy to use * The tools must be very easy to maintain and update * The tools must allow to specify and configure the softwares that will be run * In a second step, the tools will endow means to supervise the execution of scenarios h2. General principles The following principles take very much after the "dala scripts" (see the git repo: git+ssh://softs.laas.fr/git/robots/dala-scripts.git ), the main file names in this suite are referred to hereafter. # A shell script: (see shell-script/start.sh) * sets a series of environment variables required to launch the softwares (in particular, a LOGDIR) * Interprets a configuration file that specifies which softwares must be launched (a software can be a ROS node, a Genom3 module, some utilities -- e.g. redirecting the GPS correction data to the proper device, what else ?) * Properly launches each software -- and warn the user in case launch failed * Redirects standard and error outputs of each software A companion shell-scripts terminates "in a clean manner" all the launched softwares
